Cockett Marine Oil takes its responsibility to the community very seriously. As well as providing funding to charities in its local community, its staff are also encouraged to take part in events and fundraising activities ensuring they have a personal involvement with the projects.

Cockett is currently supporting five charities;  

Harris HospisCare based near our head office in Orpington.

The Maypole Project which provides services in South East London.

Petts Wood Football Club local football team for youngsters.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) based in Ramsgate, Kent.

Children with Cancer UK  (formerly Children with Leukaemia).

Harris HospisCare aims to improve the quality of life of patients by providing specialist palliative care, supporting families and carers and working in a training capacity with local health care professionals to improve end of life care for all.

The Maypole Project offers relief, preservation and protection of the emotional wellbeing of individuals, predominantly children and young people diagnosed between birth and 18 years of age with a chronic illness that may be life threatening or life shortening, and their family members.

 Petts Wood Football Club, which has its ground near to Cockett UK’s Head Office, offers both boys and girls of all ability levels the opportunity to play good quality football, regardless of their parents’ income. The club has the infrastructure to support new teams and offers qualified football coaching at all ages.  Cockett recently  funded a free coaching course for all age groups in the club where teams require strengthening or are short of players. The course will be run by newly qualified football coaches to enable them to gain confidence in their coaching skills.

Children with Cancer UK (formerly Children with Leukaemia) is continuing its fight against childhood leukaemia through funding research into causes and treatments, as well as supporting families and future campaigning. The charity relies solely on donations and receives no Government funding which is one of the reasons why Cockett decided to support it.

Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is a charity that saves lives at sea, ensuring that lifeboats, life-saving equipment and shore facilities are maintained in a safe manner and kept in a state of readiness. The organisation must raise sufficient funds to enable it to save lives now and in the future, and pursue innovative ways of extending its role to provide better support for crews. Our donation will be used to offset the cost of training and crew kit at Ramsgate RNLI.

In addition to these 5 charities Cockett sponsors an annual CPR campaign in the London Borough of Bromley. The campaign involves a wall chart that provides a step-by-step guide to administering CPR and demonstrates how it can save lives. Distributed to libraries, doctors’ surgeries and hospitals, the chart promotes the life-saving procedure to the local community.
